Thanks for all your help. In most Whole Foods Markets, they have olive bars that have some really awesome raw olives. My favorites are the herbed ones on top of raw flax seed crackers with raw salsa.
My husband & I had that for breakfast once!! It was kinda romantic too!
It's good to know that their 365 brand is raw too! Thanks for the question & info!! No. No canned or jarred olives are raw. They're far too bitter to be eaten raw.
Olives are cured. The 2 most common methods used to cure are soaking in a salt brine or soaking in lye. Either way, the olives are heavily rinsed and packed for canning. The canning process involves heating to a high temp and holding until bacteria has been killed. At that point, the can or bottle is sealed and allowed to cool. nothing canned or jarred is raw. all foods that are commercially canned and jarred are cooked (or prepared) to some degree before packaging to kill germs mainly but there are also other reasons
